Networking Like a Pro: Turning Contacts into Connections

For the material and how it's presented I would give It a 5, but there was a good amount of self advertising and many of the later chapters said exactly the same information as earlier chapters. Overall the topic was well covered and I do recommend the book to others

Ivan Misner is the master when it comes to networking. When you want to learn anything you have to learn from the best. If anyone wants to get started in face-to-face networking, this is the book I would recommend to them first.

I've learned so much from this book. It is so well written; an easy to follow mostly conversational tone. The steps suggested are simple, and explained very well. I highly recommend it.

I learned a lot about relationship building reading this book. It also opened my eyes to ways of expanding my business. I loved it!

I have not finished Dr. Misner's book but to date I find it fascinating. I was a member of Dr. Misner's organization, BNI for 3 years. He knows what he is talking about.

Having been a BNI member for some time, this book is just a consolidation of the many information sources used there.I found it interesting but a bit diluted of new useful info

Good tips, easy read!

Title: Networking Like a ProAuthor: Ivan Misner and Brian HilliardThe book was about: This book was about networking. It talks about strategies on how to avoid just going to networking events to get as many business cards as you can, strategies on how and when to walk up to new people at an event, what types of networking events there are and how to “network like a pro”.I loved: Have you ever read a book and started to highlight, underline and ear mark every page (besides the bible)? Every other page of this book has been marked with something that I agree with, something I need to start doing, or something I need to share with my team at work. This book has been wonderful. I finished it a few weeks ago and have already come back to it multiple times to reread different sections.My recommendation is to read the entire book, front to back, mark what you find is interesting and then step away from it for a few days. Then come back to different sections and implement the strategies, techniques and ideas that Misner and Hilliard discuss.Reading this book made me wonder about: How have I not seen, read or heard many of the techniques discussed throughout this book. I was engaged the entire book and couldn’t wait to start to implement some of the ideas. I hope my referral networking group didn’t mind emails at 10:30pm at night asking to meet for a one to one conversation, or to get coffee and lunch so I can learn how to help their business. Givers Gain is real and this book is the real deal.Overall, the book was: I give the book 6 out of 5 stars!I received a review copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Practical recommendations for networking. I think that suggestions are repeated again and again, but at the end you can read it in an easy way.

There are so many wonderful insights in this book that it should be required reading for anyone starting a business. As well, established businesses can find benefits in learning how to network more effectively. Highly recommended.

great read for networkers
